Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I'm curious - is the "Please like and comment" comment a holdover from FB?
Do you need to tell us to like and comment because you don't think we will?
Telling free thinkers to like and comment (well, at least me) on something tends to make me NOT want to like, or comment. Just sayin'.

Here you are, read all about it. Notice that the eclipse coming in July will certainly be visible in the UK but with some restrictions. Anyway, the article tells all:
Oh, just an added note: The article you posted is incomplete about what constitutes a Blue Moon. Astronomically, a Blue Moon is the second full moon in any single month, hence the use of the term to indicate something of some rarity. "I hadn't seen Cindy in a blue moon." "It has been a blue moon since I traveled to Coventry last."

@chicagojcb -- I don't know if you're joking here, so forgive me if I belabor the obvious: We are experiencing the rare occurrence of three perigee (super) moons in a row, beginning with the one in December 2017. The reason this coming one is a super blue blood moon is because it is a total lunar eclipse occurring on the second full moon of the month and happens to also be a perigee moon.
@evidentialist I was only partially joking. Somebody has been raving about "super" moons every full moon for quite a while now, and it gets tiresome. The truth is, the view of the moon between perigee and apigee is noticeable but actually not all that huge. As far as this blue blood moon, I won't see the lunar eclipse, and the "blue" part is because of our calendar, which is pretty arbitrary. So I just don't get excited about it.
The ecliipse will occur during the day in the UK (13:27 GMT) and will not be visible. Sorry!
